Erik Owens

I grew up in Livermore Falls, ME and moved to Gardiner, ME when I was a freshman in high school. After that, I spent four years studying communications at the New England School of Communication in Bangor.
I've worked at a number of stations throughout the state of Maine. Most recently, I worked in radio news at stations in Portland, ME and Dayton, OH.
In my spare time, I'm a big sports fan, especially the Celtics and Patriots. I watch a lot of TV, including "The Leftovers" and "Game of Thrones." I'm also pretty fond of my PS4.
